Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced on Tuesday an agreement between Yemen's government and southern separatists to end a power struggle in the south of the country that had opened a new front in Yemen's war.
No details were revealed during the signing ceremony broadcast on Saudi state TV, but sources familiar with the talks had told Reuters the agreement calls for a government reshuffle to include the separatists and placing their forces under government control.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Yemeni President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi and UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan attended the signing ceremony in Riyadh, according to a live broadcast from Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television.
In August, forces of the self-styled Southern Transitional Council (STC), backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), overran the southern city of Aden, the seat of the government, after clashes between the sides.
